The station building is two-storey modern structure which also houses a local community centre.

The track was extended westwards in phases, with Tamarai being established as its western terminus on 30 November 1925.

On 2 December 1928, Miyaji and Tamarai were linked up, with Bungo-Ogi opening on the same day as one of several intermediate stations along the new track.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Bungo-Ogi came under the control of JR Kyushu.
